I have a 91' suzuki lt250r
For those of you who wanted to know what I was going to do about my A-arm bearings and stuff, I found pivot works A-arm bearing kits for them at rocky mountain atv (www.rockymountainatv.com) They come with everything I needed in upper and lower kits, about $53 a kit. A kit has everything for both a-arms depending upon what kit you buy, upper or lower. So I ordered both kits upper and lower today, about $106 plus shipping and I ordered a couple other things. I want to put grease zurks in them if possible with the new bearings. Does anyone have tips for doing that?

thanks,

chuck

 

Make sure the zerks are low enough so they don't hit the frame when the A-arm moves, and keep the holes as far away from the welds as you can....and that's about it.

 

i got my a arms chromed and installed grease zerks in them i got pics as well if you wanna see em. email me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I purchased a used pair (like brand new) of Bergard +2 a-arms for $250.00, the best money I ever spent on the quad, the a-arms made so much more of a positive effect than the works shocks did.

 

I didn't know that the stock a-arms on LT250R's don't have grease zerks, this means that you would have to take the a-arms off to grease the bearings, i plan on getting one in the next year or so, so this is something i need to consider, how hard is it to get them installed on the stock a-arms, can you buy aftermarket a-arms for Qracers with zerks on em?

Thanks!

 

It takes about 1/2 and hours to completely disasemble lube and reasemble the a-arms on QR250. It would probably take an extra hour or so to put the zerks on a stock set. Yes there are companies that make aftermarket arms

 

Hey Chuck,

I ordered the same bearings yesterday for my 89 Quadracer. I was wondering if you've figured out how to remove the old bearings yet? The old ones seem to be pressed in but I'm not sure. I was hoping the kits would come with instructions. I'm hope I won't need a torch to heat them up to get them out.

Any ideas?

 

I don't know for sure yet but, Maybe you could find a socket that would fit in there just right and pound it out or something like that. I haven't looked in the manual yet. If i get mine in before you I will post and tell you. Tell me if you do your right away.

Well i just rebuilt my a arms on my quad zilla. I had to remove the bearings to get the arms chromed. I used a socket and a decent hammer. I used a huge amount of force, thinking i was going to replace the bearings. when i had them out, i hadnt even dented them. So i bought some new needle rods and repacked them and reinstalled them....easy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I used a 5/8 deepwell socket and beat the old bearings out.
